Additional Comments:
We’re seeking a Senior Software Engineer with at least 6-8 years of experience, familiar with the financial technology sector. The ideal candidate will have strong proficiency in Java for backend development, deep expertise in PostgreSQL for database management, and hands-on experience with AWS services such as EC2, RDS, and S3. A solid understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, and CI/CD pipelines is essential. The role also requires excellent problem-solving skills, a commitment to clean and maintainable code, and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams. Experience with containerization tools like Docker or Kubernetes, frontend frameworks like React, and knowledge of security best practices in financial applications are a plus. What You’ll Do o Design, develop, and maintain enterprise-grade Java / Spring Boot applications, ensuring high throughput, scalability, and reliability. o Lead design and system decomposition, making strategic decisions around microservices, event-driven flows, and domain boundaries. o Optimize and manage relational databases, primarily PostgreSQL, including schema design, indexing, query tuning, and data integrity practices. o Develop, deploy, and operate cloud-native solutions using AWS (e.g. EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda) and drive infrastructure-as-code practices. o Define and enforce API contracts (RESTful / reactive APIs), versioning, and backward compatibility. o Drive CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, build & release strategies, and environment promotion workflows. o Collaborate closely with product, UX/design, QA, DevOps, and security teams to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions. o Review work from mid-level and junior engineers; lead low level design reviews collaborating with the Architecture team and promote clean code and best practices. o Ensure adherence to security, compliance, and performance standards, especially within financial domain constraints. o Continuously evaluate emerging technologies (e.g., reactive frameworks, serverless patterns, container orchestration) and advocate for incremental improvements. What We’re Looking For - o 6+ years of professional experience in Java-based backend development, including production-level coding, debugging, and support. o Strong mastery of Spring, Spring Boot, and reactive programming (e.g. RxJava ) as design patterns in modern Java systems. o Proven experience designing and operating microservices architectures, service-to-service communications, messaging, and event-driven designs. o Deep knowledge of PostgreSQL (or similar relational DBs), SQL, data modeling, performance tuning, and ORM frameworks (e.g. Hibernate/JPA). o Hands-on experience with AWS services: EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, as well as familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation). o Strong foundation in REST API design, versioning, security (OAuth, JWT, TLS), and API gateway strategies. o Experience with establishing and scaling CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI, or similar). o Exposure to containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) is highly desirable. o Experience in a regulated or financial domain (banking, payments, trading) is a significant plus. o Excellent problem-solving, system-thinking, and architectural judgment. o Strong communication skills, able to influence across teams and explain technical decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Nice-to-Have / Differentiators o Experience building reactive, event-driven systems or using message brokers. o Familiarity with frontend technologies such as React, Tailwind, Bootstrap or other JS frameworks (to understand end-to-end flows). o Prior exposure to observability tooling (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Splunk). o Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) o Security certifications or deep experience with secure coding practices in financial systems (e.g. encryption, key management, audit logging).
